Discerning user by voice is important. We have a family Apple Music account and I have been wondering whose Apple Music account will be affected. I don't know how the HP will be set up but I imagine it will be linked to a specific Apple Music account. That is fine as long as I am the only user but in my house there are 4 of us and I really (I mean REALLY) do not want my Apple Music account to become 'polluted' by music from other family members. I am certain that they want their accounts 'polluted' by my choices even less. I was thinking I'd have to set up a separate Apple ID and that may still be the best course of action. Anyone have any ideas how this will work?

An immediate goal will be "changing the image of Uber and crafting what that brand story is," she added. "That hasn't been done yet.".

When I read this kind of cliche'd corporate bullshit I despair. It is insulting. In order to change the image and craft the story, the content has to change for it to have meaning. If everything remains the same at HQ but the image and story are re-imagined, re-crafted, re-evisioned, call it what the fuck you will, it is a loser proposition and an insult to all Uber customers, because everybody knows it is just lipstick on a pig.

Please Apple be objective in the news filtering. There are no objective news sources anymore that I'm aware of, at least in the US. We have Fox News biased to the right, and everyone else biased to the left. The US desperately needs a source of unbiased information. (Especially since Trump is such a wild card; no one knows how to interpret what he does or says, so by default everyone seems to just interpret through their respective ideological lenses.)

I agree that Fox News is biased to the right, but more than that they are just biased. It is a stretch calling it a 'news' site. But to say that EVERYONE ELSE is biased to the left is pretty ridiculous. There is nothing left wing about questioning the status quo. Some are more liberal with more of left leaning view, but none of the main news organizations qualify as 'left wing' by traditional standards. It is odd to hear people call Hilary Clinton or Barak Obama 'left wing'. They may be more liberal than some but hardly left wing. 

Just as superficial comparison ...  Ronal Reagan was universally reviled by the left and Obama was universally reviled by the right.

At least it appears to be less ugly and obtrusive than that August smart lock. Personally, I'd rather change the battery more often and have something better looking. 

Not that I'm interested in either of those products. 

Ok, but charging a battery four times every year for a lock?

The best lock is one with a key pad imo. I have a Kēvo and I spend more time standing outside my front door trying to connect the damn thing than it would have taken me to file a new key manually from a sheet of metal each day! 
The selling points of a connected lock are valid but my guess is that people rarely use those features. The main thing is no key and a number pad takes care of that. It's just simpler. 

I do use my Watch a lot, but just for quick peeks. It tells the time, and lets me check notifications very quickly. Occasionally I reply to a text. I also have a couple of apps that integrate nicely and use those to keep an eye on things without having to reach for my phone. So I do find it useful, but it has taken time for all the little moments to come together in my head as truly useful. For me the battery is very good. I charge it most days when I step into the shower, and that is about it. If I don't charge it I get at least three days use.
